Such an excellent video, brother. The cinematics, the dialogue, the real world knowledge. You are amazing and you deserve great things. Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece with the world!
Thanks bro! 90% of this is stuff everybody has seen before, but I wanted to sum up my year with a video collage, if you will. Time to start making content for next year 😁
I get really excited when I hear about eBikes. The weight is still an issue for those who like mixed routes, but I am quite confident that in a couple of years Energica will manage to improve in that aspect. :)
Hell yeah! The new models are amazing, especially the Experia. That bike doesn't feel heavy at all. Energica is working on the coolest stuff right now 😁
Best and most realistic review video I've seen. When you showed me their customer service you really touched on a subject that is very important to me and you probably just sold a bike.
Wow nice! Thanks, I really appreciate that. There are too many paid promotional videos and biased reviews out there, so I wanted to make one from the perspective of an owner. Glad ya liked it! I'm buying a second Energica, so I guess that means something 😂
My dude your series on E-Bikes is the best I've seen for the Energica. The information you've provided was not only entertaining but enough for me to decide I need it before I've even seen one in person! Thanks so much for all your efforts bud!
@@NewZeroland oh I was gutted to see the title stating you sold it but even before I watched the video I just knew it had to be for a damn good reason 😆. Your attitude towards the Ego and it's features made me dive super deep into EV technology when before seeing your series I would never have considered an EV. I'm already writing the dear John letter to my R6 😬
@@CinnamonCanine whoaaaa! Oh man haha, so you probably saw I've owned two R6's :D I love those bikes! They're the perfect sportbike. But yeah, if you wanna go electric, Energica is the only way. Thanks for making my day haha. These comments have been so fun to read!
@@NewZeroland for sure I'm going to miss the R6 but I'm ready to embrace the future haha! So happy I got the chance to interact with you 😀 thanks for the excellent replies! Stay safe buddy 🤘
@@NewZeroland ditto! Number 1 thing that sold me on the company was how Stefano and the gang took care of Daren and his EGO+. What other company would bring a test ride to you. I’m just bummed I’m not going on the Reno ride. I can’t wait to get the replacement bike and start riding again (I’m starting to walk again lol)
@@Chickenheart93 That'll be a really interesting ride to watch. I know Gabe is bummed he won't have his bike for it either. Hope your healing is going well!
I pre-ordered my new Eva Rebelle RS back in Jan/Feb and ended up tearing my right Achilles tendon playing basketball the day before I was supposed to take delivery of my bike in April, which sucked!! Stefano and Laurence, who had been awesome the whole step of the way, changed their plans on the fly, and delivered the bike to my house in Scottsdale since i was laid up. I got to see some of the other demo bikes, and they gave me a personal tutorial of all the controls even though I knew them from other vids. They were in no hurry, and I literally did feel like their only customer. Customer service cannot be rated high enough
one of the things I love so much about your videos is they aren't the typical electric moto review where all they talk about is how there's no clutch, no gears to shift and so on. I'm not looking for reviews on how its so foreign compared to a gas bike. I've been riding maxi scooters for the past few years because I just love twist and go and currently have a Piaggio BV350 which has pretty strong engine breaking, so when you talked about being able to adjust that to preference that really stood out to me. Because my riding style is similar, to where I use engine breaking the majority of my time riding. I'm waiting for the ev market to catch up to the maxi scooter market. I just love step throughs. BMW has one but it hasn't been updated in like 5 years and the ergonomics feel like I'm sitting on top of brick wall :/ Awesome review Sam love your content!
Thanks moonshinethics! I saw something about a new BMW scooter.. or at least a concept, called Definition CE 04. It looks super futuristic. Hopefully that one feels better to ride. You're right that so far electric scooters are only for low-speed city stuff and we need bigger options!
This is exactly what I'm after and been waiting for. Of course it will be heavy to start like a GS, but at least we can go off-road more (i take my Eva107 on gravel & a short trail/track every time I ride it from/to home). It will be a LONG while until it's lightweight and long-range and off-road and DCFC, but I'll settle for 3 of those :) Otherwise it's time to build a custom Energica!!!
Watched your video AND RIGHT NOW I AM BOOKING ONE......... Half the credit : Bike Half : A well scripted, edited and presented video ! YOU THE BEST ! CHEERS !
Bwahaha I thought you would! I realized I never looked back through our videos from there, so this was a good excuse to put them on youtube. I'm soooo excited about your move!
Dude you are my hero. Like 12 seconds of new video and mostly B roll video and new narrative. Wait was the PlayStation remote video new too? Either way great video with mostly editing and dusting off old videos. That’s impressive editing skills. You are an F*#€ing TH-cam video machine. 😆 And I love that Jenn got first.
Amazing community. I can't wait to join once I get enough saved! Family first for now ^^ and the Y is definitely filling the void for now. Great video brother!!!
I can SO APPRECIATE an owner's perspective on this bike. I often compare demo or two week rides versus ownership to dating. Great to go out once or twice a week, after 'an appropriate amount of time 'being able to 'hook up.' But dating is WAY DIFFERENT than getting married or moving in together! All of the warts come out then so a true picture of how I view a product comes from an owner. Thank you for taking the time to chronicle your experience with the Ego. I'm sure many others appreciate the time and candor you put into your work.
Haha thanks man! That's a great analogy. It totally is like dating. Living with someone can either build a stronger bond or it can drive you crazy. This bike is like living with a supermodel. She's wild and unforgiving but so sexy and Italian 😂
@@NewZeroland Yeah she's gorgeous that's for sure! And like I've said to only a handful of gorgeous gfs - "You're WAY TOO NICE to be this good looking" it sounds as if you found a hot supermodel that is low maintenance! Italian gals are good gfs! Now if you can teach the bike to cook things can get even better! LOL
I love that you addressed the elephant of weight right out of the gate, and how it will impact throwing it side to side at slower speeds. Great video! I'm lusting after the 2022 Tricolore!
Thanks man! Gotta be truthful about the experience. I'm not selling these bikes so these are just my own personal feelings about them. All that said, I got to ride a 2022 Ego with Ohlins and carbon fiber wheels, and it was insane how much better it felt!
@@NewZeroland dude I get it. I found a pristine 2002 Aprilia RSV Mille R with under 500 miles and I feel bad riding it now. It needs to be on a pedestal of the V-Twin haydays when everyone was trying to catch Ducati. I want something else and e-bikes are the future. Energica has a proven pedigree and as you addressed brembo and Ohlins are the best components going.
A satisfied customer is the best advertisement any company could have! When's the next instalment of Jen's bike hunting? Or is mention of the newer Energica part of the solution? Waiting for the next exciting episode....
Haha soon! We wanted to test ride a Super Soco but the shop sold their only one the night before.. so we went and rode something else that is also exciting 😁
Very informative and easy video. No gimmicks, no pretense. It was helpful particularly when I am considering switching to an electric motorcycle. Zero does come to my mind a lot since we live in central California, but I do see the value of Energica. Thanks again for the video.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If you want a cheap commuter, there is no better bike than Zero. For longer trips or track days where you need performance, Energica is the only way to go!
Thank you so much for your review. I have been consistently searching online for reviews on electric motorcycles and yours literally blew me away. The honesty and the sincerity of the information you give is easily recognized. Again thank you so much.
Thanks, William! I really appreciate it. This bike is pretty old now and Energicas newer models seriously destroy it in every way. Things are moving so fast these days so I'll have to keep shooting videos to keep you guys updated 😂 Thanks again!
This video makes me even more anxious to get my ribelle. Other than the extra money, the new 21.5 bikes solve some of your concerns. Range, weight etc. But both types are great looking machines. My bike was originally supposed to be here at the end of April. Now it's the end of May. The last I heard, it was going to dock in SF on Monday, May 10th. And should be processed and delivered by the beginning of June. I'M SO EXCITED!
Oh mannnn! Hopefully it arrives soon. Everything seems to be delayed everywhere in the world right now. You're gonna have a blast though, and just in time for summer!
Thank you so much for this video, Brother. Really well done. I'm watching because I have invested in IDEX who just increased ownership in Energica from 20% to 70%, and I've been riding my whole life. I really think I've made a great investment and now I really am considering an Energica. Funny how the best sales videos come from people who really know and love the product in a somewhat unbiased way.
Cheers, Mateo! That means a lot. The new bikes are such a huge improvement over the one I had and I can't wait to ride one. You invested in the right company 😎
Oh, man. As a fellow energica owner. I agree with EVERY POINT you made. Great job once again, my friend. NAIL IT!!!! I can’t stress enough how accurate you are and how fantastic Energica’s customer service is. I never even heard of a company this invested in making their customers happy. Stefano, Chris, and the community are so good that you feel like you’re family. I am just a regular Joe, but every time I deal with Energica, I feel like a billionaire. They treat you so well no matter who you are, and I can’t think of any company that can get anywhere near Energica when it comes to customer support and quality today. Thank you for this video! You & Energica deserves EVERY like, love, and awesome comments you’re getting.
Brooooo thank you so much! This is what I'm talkin about. This community is so tight! The personal connection we all have to the people in charge of the company really is unheard of, and I hope that never changes :D
man i wish i wasnt broke this bike seems amazing ngl im struggling to even afford a 125cc bc of the economy here great bike tho and amazing comment aswell
Today i hit the 40'000 km mark. After 23 month of ownership. It is hard to describe "how it's to be a freakin MotoE bike owner" But i could not say it better.. Really an excelent vid 👍
@@NewZeroland Someone from Energica confirmed that im on the second place. how ever... I guess i'm the motovloger with the most miles. And yes i will do a review vid. I will talk about pro and con. also feeding the haters with new amunition. 🤣
I purchased the Ribelle RS around 2 months ago after always saying I would never have an electric bike. Absolutely agree with your words. Great bike to ride and a lot of fun. Haven't quite worked through the battery anxiety yet! 😀
Cheers Tyler! No joke, your supportive comments motivated me to keep making these videos early on, like 5 years ago. So thank you for inspiring me to inspire you haha.
Cheers Sam...another food for thought vid ...I recently put a mechanical cruise control device on my speedy......wish I'd done it years ago.....really good to give ya right hand/wrist a break and not slow down.....
Yeah the infrastructure would have to improve like crazy for that. They say Tesla superchargers are opening up to everybody with CCS so that'd solve a lot of problems.
I've been feeling kind of down lately about making more videos about my ego, but this just reminded me why I love it so much and why I want everyone to hear about it so they can feel the same excitement I do. Brilliant work and you made my day 😀 I think I might do my next video I was thinking about now that asks the question "is an energica the perfect beginner bike?" Spoiler: Short answer: no Long answer: depends on the person, heh 😉
Haha good idea! And thanks man. I'm glad there are more of us popping up, taking the chance on electrics, finding out what they're like and seeing how far they can go. Do you have any road trips planned on yours?
@@NewZeroland I want to ride around Chicago and probably ride out to Michigan to say hi to my brother. He actually decided make his own youtube channel (since he got excited that I made one)called "engineering perspective" and made two videos about his tesla model 3 and each video has more views than all mine combined, hehe, but im really happy for him. I hope we can go to the drag strip together and do a "Electric car vs electric motorcycle" thing, it'll be fun.
Such a beautiful machine. I feel like I've said this before about your Ego videos but you are reminding me again that I might just have to "gift" the SR to the Mrs. so I can score an Eva Ribelle.
Finally got my 2021 Energica Eva Ribelle RS, the first one of those they sold!! It’s an absolute torque MONSTER, and insanely fun to ride. I am still breaking in that 21.5 kW battery, and Laurence and Steffano explained to me I need to build “battery elasticity“ to get maximum range, but I don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of range (i live in Scottsdale) to really whack that throttle because there is simply nothing else like it on the road. Fastest, most responsive thing I have ever been in or on. Supposed to get from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.6 seconds, but I have to tell you, it feels much faster than that, it’s almost too much G force for my stomach to handle. LOVE IT
Whoaaa that's so awesome to hear, man! I'm incredibly jealous :D I think my next bike will be an Eva Ribelle, for sure. The riding position and styling is really nice. Congrats on your bike!!
@@NewZeroland Thanks bro, watching your channel was instrumental in my decision making. I am a big one for competition, and because of such awesome gas bikes out there, these high end electric competitors really rose to the challenge and in many ways now outshine IC bikes. You will love the riding position, and the ergonomics of the Eva Ribelle. First sticker going on this beautiful piece of technology is Newzeroland
Happy motoversery! May you have many more! Now I'm wondering what it'd be like if you could mod a dualshock controller analog stick in as a thumb throttle. Probably have to replace it every 50 miles. (80.4 km)
9:30 “Owning an Enérgica is more than just riding a bike- it’s the community” Well said Sam. Doesn’t hurt that there’s some handsome looking fellas giving shakas 🤙🏼 at the same time. Hey who are those guys anyways? 😄
HAHA right?? I feel really lucky to be a part of this group that's taking a chance on badass tech, supporting a future that isn't bland and boring just because it's eco-friendly. You guys rock :D
Great video with great points. Still love my SR and can't wait to ride once it finally warms up here. Pretty sure I'm going to keep the SR and Volt as long as possible and my next EV will be a Model X. Energicas are definitely for more serious riders than myself. Think they're cool, but the Zero is more my style.
Duuude a Model X would be amazing. Those things are pure luxury. I feel ya on the SR. Mine is still so much fun to ride. We want to replace it but don't really have a reason to. It fills all our needs and doesn't have any problems, so we'll probably keep it for a while longer, too.
Great video. I am a Zero owner and I am going to have a test ride next week on a Ribelle. I still don’t know what I am going to do, but your channel is really interesting for me. 👍
Cool bike and I’m glad that you get to charge at home; that said one thing that bugs me about ALL evs is this emphasis on home charging. Idk a thing about life in New Zealand but in the USA outside of a few places that are brand new construction, apartments don’t have chargers, rental houses aren’t really going to allow you to install a charger unless the landlord wants to go green and to get a charger installed from what I understand is between 3-10k depending on many factors. I guess my point is, it annoys me that ev compañía place this emphasis on home charging when the reality is few people have the ability or access to it. That said, 1. It has to start somewhere I get that and 2. If I had to go buy an ev right now today, an enérgica would be it hands down.
Yeah I understand, for sure. Apartment living is limited, and you'd have to really want an EV to use a public charger. Some people are able to charge for free at work, so they never charge at home. We used normal wall sockets to charge everything (slow but whatever) and just bought a faster 32A wall pod a month ago. It was about $1,500 for the charger and installation. I can't imagine spending more than that. So I guess an extension cord out the window is a possible work-around for people with interesting living situations, or removable batteries that you can charge inside without hauling the whole bike upstairs.
Interesting that you brought up Right To Repair with Zero. So far all the official Zero parts I have gotten from AF1Racing: parking brake, belt, etc. I'll see if I can get a Charge Tank in the future, still not sure if I want to spend that kinda $$$ for it. As of now, as a commuter bike I don't need the charge tank but plan on doing road trips with it maybe...then I'll want to get it for sure.
Same! AF1 Racing has been amazing. You might need a firmware update to get a charge tank to work, so it might be a dealer-only install. Not sure though.
That's pretty dam positive. I think the weight has come down... a tad 😁to 260Kg approx which is lighter than my petrol bike 😆I'm still getting used to the weight, it's all "up top" as well on my bike ! Am tempted to go do a test ride and your video allows me to "inherit" some of the experience of a longer time spent with the bike so I will know what to look out for. Some unexpected benefit of smaller power pack but might look at the longer range one. Cost is the big issue, I don't want much in terms of bells n whistles just heated grips cos I ride all year round. Finance options make it realistic. Will go ride it first then plan my electric motorcycle future 😉Thank you for your help with this 🙏👌👏👍
Hey awesome! I rode the new Ego+RS yesterday and it's crazy how light it feels compared to my old bike. Definitely take one of the new models for a test ride 😎
Another solid vid. I’ve now had my Zero SRS for 6 months and keep having issues trying to charge... it’s a variable issue though. My biggest problem is poor customer service. I’ll give it another 6 months, crossing fingers my charging situation improves, and will reevaluate. Perhaps an Energica is in the future.
Oh man, good luck. Hopefully Zero comes through for you. I've heard too many stories about SR/S lemons lately and it's a bummer. Zeros are still way better for commuting, in my opinion.. but Energicas do everything else so well that I don't think I can buy another Zero haha.
It does look like Zero have shot themselves in the foot with their closed-off customer service approach. After all this time and years of development and evolution of their electric bikes.
I hope Damon Motorsports will be on par with the Customer service when they start churning out their HyperSport, otherwise I might have to get myself an Energica myself too. Awesome video and I have always known that Zero has a bad culture surrounding their customer service practices.
There are not many(or any) automotive companies where the CEO will personally call you to get you what you need no matter how miniscule it is, and even when the customer didn't even buy a brand new bike from them. The Energica ownership experience is seriously otherworldly.
Thanks for another great vid, Sam! Makes me want an Energica. :-) I'm super jealous of your fast chargers in NZ! Meanwhile, I'm still grooving on my SR/F and the weather warming up here! Oh, how I wish 'Merika would discover the wonders of fast charging...
Great video ! I am 67. Riding for 50 years. We have no electric bikes in our country. Too, motorcycles are pretty expensive here. I shudder to think about, what will be the cost if we get them later. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
@@NewZeroland At my age (67) I wouldn't bother. Sold a BMW RT, and a Honda last year and bought a Yamaha FZ25 (Indian market 250) Cost me equivalent US$4,400. That's all I need now. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
Another great video! Thanks for your honest review. I rented an SR/F for 2 days (it was a blast!) and am hoping to ride an Ego before making the choice on my next bike (although I know the weight of the Ego will bum me out). But I really like the fact that Energica is so much better at customer support - so that's something to consider too. Looking forward to more updates. (p.s. Anamorphic on the B-roll - nice touch!)
Great review! Very helpful information for someone like me who’s new to electric bikes and wants real world experiences. Maybe I will go with the Energica Ego after all. 👌🏻
@@NewZeroland I will! But there’s another bike drawing my attention: the Damon Hypersport - which will arrive sometime this year. My only fear is that it’ll be a bike with growing pains since they don’t have the experience Energica does. But it sure as hell is one angry beast!
@@christianneitzel I feel like Damon will be a let down, if they even build them. So far there's been no evidence that the bikes can do anything they claim, and they even used a Ducati in their promo video.. so I'm skeptical 😂 But let's wait and see what happens.
@@1ytcommenter oh yeah, cleaning chains is messy! Depending on the belt system, you might still have to adjust it. Livewires have tensioners, but Zeros don't.
286kgis very heavy for a sport bike, even for z1000 is still less than 250kg of wet weight. But, thre's still room for improvement for energyca and this e-sport bike ie still a good invention forbetter future. Thanks for the info man.
Usually I find something to whinge about.......but you did good. The repair part is so important, I wonder if they have an OBD2 port or similar AND let you use it (unlike Tesla for example). And yes, going electric is a new, nice lifestyle. Amazing !!!
I really feel that's the market that would really benefit from electric. I'm confused why Zero would build the SR/F and SR/S that compete directly with their SR and S models, while bringing nothing that couldn't be (and bloody should be) put straight onto the S (like traction control and charger above the batteries). The Zeros are too big to be great commuters, too small to be great tourers. A triple monolith bike with 348V DC charging or a quad longbrick with 464V DC charging would be awesome. That market doesn't mind slippery fairings, high prices and lots of weight, but values smoothness and quiet ride.
DANG!! I’ve told you in other videos you had a huge influence in me buying my first electric. I got the 2015 zero sr used but it works great. I feel the costumer service part and the ability to work on it myself. I don’t have that with zero and I bought this bike to find out what it’s all about. Now I’m gonna look at these bikes!!
That's right! That means so much :D I still love my Zero SR but it's having problems at the moment and I'm having a hard time telling people to buy one now. As long as you're close to a dealer or a shop that can service it, there's nothing to worry about. Energica though.. there's just no beating them haha. Thanks again for sharing your story!
@@NewZeroland ah man no THANK YOU! for being a beacon for us electric enthusiast in the world. I know you are known very well through the electric community even here in San Diego CA!! Unfortunately my closes Energica dealership is in LA. Which is two hours away and with traffic make that 4 lol. So I’m gonna have to stick with zero. Knock on wood everything lasts me a while.
@@MrSokkermasta hey awesome! I love San Diego. I really hope things go back to normal and I can go back to visit California again next year. Keep up the awesome electric life over there!
Excellent video. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos, and I’m sold on getting an Energica as my next bike. The range is acceptable with the newer higher capacity battery pack. I think I could make the 430 miles back home to Scotland in a day - the longest haul I ever do in a day. My only concern (as an old geezer) is the weight, and reversing it out onto the road from my back yard. I’ll have to try one and see how the weight feels next to my Tiger 800.
Thanks! I still feel like Energicas have no competition right now. 430 miles should be a breeze. The weight is a lot better on the new bikes, but having a reverse mode helps a lot. Definitely take one for a test ride if you can.
Yeah Damon can claim whatever they want but they haven't proven anything yet. Let's see if they build a bike with all those specs. I hope they do, but it sounds like a scam.
6:59 This is what I'm looking forward to. Hi buddy, I purchase an EV bike indigenously made here in India called the Ultraviolette F77. Its comparable to a 300cc bike. It doesn't support CCS but IEC62196-6 standard which there are not many charging points in India. So I'm unable to take it for long rides.
@@NewZeroland Thanks. It is my first EV experience and like you said, the quick mode and lack of gears is insane. For now I have the standard charger at home which I use to charge overnight. Company says they're setting up charging stations. Hopefully it will be fast as the standard is followed by few of the popular EV scooter models as well (Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X & Simple One.. if you wanna google).
Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttt? This is sad but excellent because now, new bikes, new stories and someone else on the road with an Energica! No downside. Stuff the haters Sam, Im sticking with you. (ps - i have a Livewire in my shed!!!!!)
great video., i owned it and it felt too heavy on the front. i didnt get used to it, so i bought the zeor srf and a yaer later the srs. still happy with it but miss the fast charging. the noise on the energica suxs
I caught that "blood sacrifice" so fast lmao. Have you head of Damon Motorcycles btw? They are new to the scene and I'm debating whether or not I should reserve one of their bikes when it releases, or one of these.
Haha man I really hope Damon can build something that meets their impossible claims, because if they don't, it'll hurt the image of all electric motorcycles. At the moment, and for a long time, I believe Energica will be on top. Nobody else can match their performance, range, or charging speed 😁 Thanks for watching!
At least there's Hollywood Electrics and AF1 Racing coming to our rescue! Now I need to shoot a 5 year review of my Zero SR haha. Still one of the best bikes ever.

Cant wait for an ADV version, weight ergonomics wont matter as much.and silent travel in the wilderness is the dream
That would be amazing! If someone can figure out DC fast charging on an off-road capable e-moto, it would change everything.
This is exactly what I'm after and been waiting for. Of course it will be heavy to start like a GS, but at least we can go off-road more (i take my Eva107 on gravel & a short trail/track every time I ride it from/to home). It will be a LONG while until it's lightweight and long-range and off-road and DCFC, but I'll settle for 3 of those :) Otherwise it's time to build a custom Energica!!!
He, new Energica commercial ;) but your right great bike and family members
Thanks Frank!
The casualness of the narration belies how professional this video is.
Sorry I wasn't more excited 😂
Impenetrable to rockets! 🚀
Big badda boom!
Watched your video AND RIGHT NOW I AM BOOKING ONE.........
Half the credit : Bike
Half : A well scripted, edited and presented video !
YOU THE BEST ! CHEERS !
Whoa awesome!! I may be biased but you made a great choice :D Congrats and have fun!!
I loved your analogy about moving to Japan. 😁
Bwahaha I thought you would! I realized I never looked back through our videos from there, so this was a good excuse to put them on youtube. I'm soooo excited about your move!
Me too. It’s getting close.
The clips you posted are crazy fun. What was the wild boat? That looks like a ship from an anime.
@@stevenb7319 dude it was! That's a ferry in Odaiba that was designed by the creator of Galaxy Express 999.
@@NewZeroland what!!! I love that series. That sounds amazing.
Dude you are my hero. Like 12 seconds of new video and mostly B roll video and new narrative. Wait was the PlayStation remote video new too? Either way great video with mostly editing and dusting off old videos. That’s impressive editing skills. You are an F*#€ing TH-cam video machine. 😆 And I love that Jenn got first.
Amazing community. I can't wait to join once I get enough saved! Family first for now ^^ and the Y is definitely filling the void for now. Great video brother!!!
Thanks Ronald! I'm jealous of your Y. They still haven't come out in NZ yet, if you can believe that. Everything takes a year or two to get here.
@@NewZeroland whaaaa?!?!? That I didn’t know!
What I understand from this video is that we will be seeing the new Energica on this channel any day now.
O___O I hope I hope I hope! Definitely time for an upgrade.
I can SO APPRECIATE an owner's perspective on this bike. I often compare demo or two week rides versus ownership to dating. Great to go out once or twice a week, after 'an appropriate amount of time 'being able to 'hook up.' But dating is WAY DIFFERENT than getting married or moving in together! All of the warts come out then so a true picture of how I view a product comes from an owner. Thank you for taking the time to chronicle your experience with the Ego. I'm sure many others appreciate the time and candor you put into your work.
Haha thanks man! That's a great analogy. It totally is like dating. Living with someone can either build a stronger bond or it can drive you crazy. This bike is like living with a supermodel. She's wild and unforgiving but so sexy and Italian 😂
@@NewZeroland Yeah she's gorgeous that's for sure! And like I've said to only a handful of gorgeous gfs - "You're WAY TOO NICE to be this good looking" it sounds as if you found a hot supermodel that is low maintenance! Italian gals are good gfs! Now if you can teach the bike to cook things can get even better! LOL
I love that you addressed the elephant of weight right out of the gate, and how it will impact throwing it side to side at slower speeds. Great video! I'm lusting after the 2022 Tricolore!
Thanks man! Gotta be truthful about the experience. I'm not selling these bikes so these are just my own personal feelings about them. All that said, I got to ride a 2022 Ego with Ohlins and carbon fiber wheels, and it was insane how much better it felt!
@@NewZeroland dude I get it. I found a pristine 2002 Aprilia RSV Mille R with under 500 miles and I feel bad riding it now. It needs to be on a pedestal of the V-Twin haydays when everyone was trying to catch Ducati. I want something else and e-bikes are the future. Energica has a proven pedigree and as you addressed brembo and Ohlins are the best components going.
@@NewZeroland those wheels are so gorgeous... come on...
A satisfied customer is the best advertisement any company could have! When's the next instalment of Jen's bike hunting? Or is mention of the newer Energica part of the solution? Waiting for the next exciting episode....
Haha soon! We wanted to test ride a Super Soco but the shop sold their only one the night before.. so we went and rode something else that is also exciting 😁
Sam, you nearly forgot about the carbon fibre....😄
Never!! 😂
Very informative and easy video. No gimmicks, no pretense. It was helpful particularly when I am considering switching to an electric motorcycle. Zero does come to my mind a lot since we live in central California, but I do see the value of Energica. Thanks again for the video.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If you want a cheap commuter, there is no better bike than Zero. For longer trips or track days where you need performance, Energica is the only way to go!
Thank you so much for your review. I have been consistently searching online for reviews on electric motorcycles and yours literally blew me away. The honesty and the sincerity of the information you give is easily recognized. Again thank you so much.
Thanks, William! I really appreciate it. This bike is pretty old now and Energicas newer models seriously destroy it in every way. Things are moving so fast these days so I'll have to keep shooting videos to keep you guys updated 😂 Thanks again!
Great review, authentic
Cheers, Tim!
Glad to hear your still loving the ride.
Absolutely! 😎
This video makes me even more anxious to get my ribelle. Other than the extra money, the new 21.5 bikes solve some of your concerns. Range, weight etc. But both types are great looking machines.
My bike was originally supposed to be here at the end of April. Now it's the end of May. The last I heard, it was going to dock in SF on Monday, May 10th. And should be processed and delivered by the beginning of June. I'M SO EXCITED!
Oh mannnn! Hopefully it arrives soon. Everything seems to be delayed everywhere in the world right now. You're gonna have a blast though, and just in time for summer!
Thank you so much for this video, Brother. Really well done. I'm watching because I have invested in IDEX who just increased ownership in Energica from 20% to 70%, and I've been riding my whole life. I really think I've made a great investment and now I really am considering an Energica. Funny how the best sales videos come from people who really know and love the product in a somewhat unbiased way.
Cheers, Mateo! That means a lot. The new bikes are such a huge improvement over the one I had and I can't wait to ride one. You invested in the right company 😎
I agree with pinaero.. such an exellent vide Sam.. 🏍🎦🆒
Cheers, Zoli! Glad ya liked it :)
Incredible review, not a second wasted.
Thanks! Glad ya liked it 😁
Thank you for all these lovely videos
Thanks for watching!
Oh, man. As a fellow energica owner. I agree with EVERY POINT you made.
Great job once again, my friend.
NAIL IT!!!! I can’t stress enough how accurate you are and how fantastic Energica’s customer service is. I never even heard of a company this invested in making their customers happy.
Stefano, Chris, and the community are so good that you feel like you’re family. I am just a regular Joe, but every time I deal with Energica, I feel like a billionaire. They treat you so well no matter who you are, and I can’t think of any company that can get anywhere near Energica when it comes to customer support and quality today.
Thank you for this video! You & Energica deserves EVERY like, love, and awesome comments you’re getting.
Brooooo thank you so much! This is what I'm talkin about. This community is so tight! The personal connection we all have to the people in charge of the company really is unheard of, and I hope that never changes :D
Well said, every word of it.
man i wish i wasnt broke this bike seems amazing ngl im struggling to even afford a 125cc bc of the economy here
great bike tho and amazing comment aswell
Today i hit the 40'000 km mark. After 23 month of ownership. It is hard to describe "how it's to be a freakin MotoE bike owner" But i could not say it better.. Really an excelent vid 👍
Holy cow that's impressive!! Are you shooting a review video?? I think you have the most km's on an Energica so far.
@@NewZeroland Someone from Energica confirmed that im on the second place. how ever... I guess i'm the motovloger with the most miles. And yes i will do a review vid. I will talk about pro and con. also feeding the haters with new amunition. 🤣
@@LexSummer yesssss!
The year sure flew past quickly. It's been a great journey following you along the way 👍
Thanks Dean! It really has flown by.
I purchased the Ribelle RS around 2 months ago after always saying I would never have an electric bike. Absolutely agree with your words. Great bike to ride and a lot of fun. Haven't quite worked through the battery anxiety yet! 😀
Niiiice!! Congrats. I'm biased but the Ribelle RS is the best one you can get. I'm excited for ya! 😁
Sixth! Congratulations on 1 year Sam!
Thanks bro! 😁
wow, thank you, that was a great walk through of this bike. I'm sold!
Thanks! I actually rode the newer version of the Ego last week and it blew my mind how much lighter and faster it was.
Really solid video mate. I bought my zero because of you. I still love it and can't see myself buying a new bike for awhile, but this video was gold.
Cheers Tyler! No joke, your supportive comments motivated me to keep making these videos early on, like 5 years ago. So thank you for inspiring me to inspire you haha.
Great video! Looking to buy an Energica and this video helped me move towards that purchase. Thanks!
Thanks! You won't regret it. I'm still blown away by the power :)
Energica needs their own racing league.
😂😂😂 yeah something like Moto E
Great video, it's like a personal commercial
Thanks man!
Cheers Sam...another food for thought vid ...I recently put a mechanical cruise control device on my speedy......wish I'd done it years ago.....really good to give ya right hand/wrist a break and not slow down.....
Thanks man, and nice! Cruise control is a game changer for long highway rides.
Imagine 10 batt bikes on a touring trip, having to wait for charging turns. But this is a way to go.
Yeah the infrastructure would have to improve like crazy for that. They say Tesla superchargers are opening up to everybody with CCS so that'd solve a lot of problems.
Great video as always! Thanks! Nice to see that you don't have problems from those fast charging.
Thank you! Nope, no problems. Only problem is not enough free time for more road trips!
I've been feeling kind of down lately about making more videos about my ego, but this just reminded me why I love it so much and why I want everyone to hear about it so they can feel the same excitement I do. Brilliant work and you made my day 😀
I think I might do my next video I was thinking about now that asks the question "is an energica the perfect beginner bike?"
Spoiler:
Short answer: no
Long answer: depends on the person, heh 😉
Haha good idea! And thanks man. I'm glad there are more of us popping up, taking the chance on electrics, finding out what they're like and seeing how far they can go. Do you have any road trips planned on yours?
@@NewZeroland I want to ride around Chicago and probably ride out to Michigan to say hi to my brother. He actually decided make his own youtube channel (since he got excited that I made one)called "engineering perspective" and made two videos about his tesla model 3 and each video has more views than all mine combined, hehe, but im really happy for him. I hope we can go to the drag strip together and do a "Electric car vs electric motorcycle" thing, it'll be fun.
Such a beautiful machine. I feel like I've said this before about your Ego videos but you are reminding me again that I might just have to "gift" the SR to the Mrs. so I can score an Eva Ribelle.
Haha thanks bro! Hey, that worked for me.. until the Mrs. decided she also needed an Energica 😂
Energergica will probably be my first e bike
Finally got my 2021 Energica Eva Ribelle RS, the first one of those they sold!!
It’s an absolute torque MONSTER, and insanely fun to ride. I am still breaking in that 21.5 kW battery, and Laurence and Steffano explained to me I need to build “battery elasticity“ to get maximum range, but I don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of range (i live in Scottsdale) to really whack that throttle because there is simply nothing else like it on the road. Fastest, most responsive thing I have ever been in or on. Supposed to get from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.6 seconds, but I have to tell you, it feels much faster than that, it’s almost too much G force for my stomach to handle. LOVE IT
Whoaaa that's so awesome to hear, man! I'm incredibly jealous :D I think my next bike will be an Eva Ribelle, for sure. The riding position and styling is really nice. Congrats on your bike!!
@@NewZeroland
Thanks bro, watching your channel was instrumental in my decision making. I am a big one for competition, and because of such awesome gas bikes out there, these high end electric competitors really rose to the challenge and in many ways now outshine IC bikes. You will love the riding position, and the ergonomics of the Eva Ribelle. First sticker going on this beautiful piece of technology is Newzeroland
6:15 Shots fired!! 😁
Hahaha facts
And then its the sound when i probably would miss the POP POP BOM BOM RRRRR sound without my Leo Wince exhaust system.
Fuel mapping is hard 😂
@@NewZeroland I use to skip that part ... 😄
Happy motoversery! May you have many more!
Now I'm wondering what it'd be like if you could mod a dualshock controller analog stick in as a thumb throttle. Probably have to replace it every 50 miles. (80.4 km)
Right?? And thanks :D It's been so fun and I'm looking forward to another year of adventures.
9:30 “Owning an Enérgica is more than just riding a bike- it’s the community” Well said Sam. Doesn’t hurt that there’s some handsome looking fellas giving shakas 🤙🏼 at the same time. Hey who are those guys anyways? 😄
HAHA right?? I feel really lucky to be a part of this group that's taking a chance on badass tech, supporting a future that isn't bland and boring just because it's eco-friendly. You guys rock :D
Great video with great points. Still love my SR and can't wait to ride once it finally warms up here.
Pretty sure I'm going to keep the SR and Volt as long as possible and my next EV will be a Model X.
Energicas are definitely for more serious riders than myself. Think they're cool, but the Zero is more my style.
Duuude a Model X would be amazing. Those things are pure luxury. I feel ya on the SR. Mine is still so much fun to ride. We want to replace it but don't really have a reason to. It fills all our needs and doesn't have any problems, so we'll probably keep it for a while longer, too.
Great video, dude!
Cheers!
Great video. I am a Zero owner and I am going to have a test ride next week on a Ribelle. I still don’t know what I am going to do, but your channel is really interesting for me. 👍
Nice! Have fun, Yann. Those Ribelles are amazing.
Cool bike and I’m glad that you get to charge at home; that said one thing that bugs me about ALL evs is this emphasis on home charging. Idk a thing about life in New Zealand but in the USA outside of a few places that are brand new construction, apartments don’t have chargers, rental houses aren’t really going to allow you to install a charger unless the landlord wants to go green and to get a charger installed from what I understand is between 3-10k depending on many factors. I guess my point is, it annoys me that ev compañía place this emphasis on home charging when the reality is few people have the ability or access to it.
That said, 1. It has to start somewhere I get that and 2. If I had to go buy an ev right now today, an enérgica would be it hands down.
Yeah I understand, for sure. Apartment living is limited, and you'd have to really want an EV to use a public charger. Some people are able to charge for free at work, so they never charge at home. We used normal wall sockets to charge everything (slow but whatever) and just bought a faster 32A wall pod a month ago. It was about $1,500 for the charger and installation. I can't imagine spending more than that. So I guess an extension cord out the window is a possible work-around for people with interesting living situations, or removable batteries that you can charge inside without hauling the whole bike upstairs.
Regeneration is the best for stopping 👍
From Chicago
Thank you!
Cheers Jorge!
One year already!?
Heck yeah!!!
Dude it really flew by! Lots of fun was had :D
@@NewZeroland still having fast charge in my little bike I'm really envy of your because of the DCFC!
Interesting that you brought up Right To Repair with Zero. So far all the official Zero parts I have gotten from AF1Racing: parking brake, belt, etc. I'll see if I can get a Charge Tank in the future, still not sure if I want to spend that kinda $$$ for it. As of now, as a commuter bike I don't need the charge tank but plan on doing road trips with it maybe...then I'll want to get it for sure.
Same! AF1 Racing has been amazing. You might need a firmware update to get a charge tank to work, so it might be a dealer-only install. Not sure though.
@@NewZeroland good to know about possible firmware update.
Many thanks for all the information! 🙂
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Energica is it!
Awesome! Very, very informative 👌👍
Thank you!
That's pretty dam positive. I think the weight has come down... a tad 😁to 260Kg approx which is lighter than my petrol bike 😆I'm still getting used to the weight, it's all "up top" as well on my bike ! Am tempted to go do a test ride and your video allows me to "inherit" some of the experience of a longer time spent with the bike so I will know what to look out for. Some unexpected benefit of smaller power pack but might look at the longer range one. Cost is the big issue, I don't want much in terms of bells n whistles just heated grips cos I ride all year round. Finance options make it realistic. Will go ride it first then plan my electric motorcycle future 😉Thank you for your help with this 🙏👌👏👍
Hey awesome! I rode the new Ego+RS yesterday and it's crazy how light it feels compared to my old bike. Definitely take one of the new models for a test ride 😎
Another solid vid. I’ve now had my Zero SRS for 6 months and keep having issues trying to charge... it’s a variable issue though. My biggest problem is poor customer service. I’ll give it another 6 months, crossing fingers my charging situation improves, and will reevaluate. Perhaps an Energica is in the future.
Oh man, good luck. Hopefully Zero comes through for you. I've heard too many stories about SR/S lemons lately and it's a bummer. Zeros are still way better for commuting, in my opinion.. but Energicas do everything else so well that I don't think I can buy another Zero haha.
Congratulations for the beauty
Thank you!
It does look like Zero have shot themselves in the foot with their closed-off customer service approach. After all this time and years of development and evolution of their electric bikes.
Yep, I won't buy another Zero even if they figure out DC charging. They burned that bridge. Energica all the way 😁
I hope Damon Motorsports will be on par with the Customer service when they start churning out their HyperSport, otherwise I might have to get myself an Energica myself too. Awesome video and I have always known that Zero has a bad culture surrounding their customer service practices.
Man I hope Damon actually builds the bikes with the specs they claim. I'm still really skeptical, but we'll see!
There are not many(or any) automotive companies where the CEO will personally call you to get you what you need no matter how miniscule it is, and even when the customer didn't even buy a brand new bike from them. The Energica ownership experience is seriously otherworldly.
Sooo well said, Austin! I want Energica to grow and get huge, but I hope this personal connection never changes.
Thanks for another great vid, Sam! Makes me want an Energica. :-) I'm super jealous of your fast chargers in NZ! Meanwhile, I'm still grooving on my SR/F and the weather warming up here! Oh, how I wish 'Merika would discover the wonders of fast charging...
Haha thanks Fred! Things are improving everyday. Hopefully Zero brings out a DC charging option soon too!
what 200kph!!!i want that bike so bad😭thats fast enough!
Right?? Haha plenty for me too.
Great video !
I am 67. Riding for 50 years.
We have no electric bikes in our country.
Too, motorcycles are pretty expensive here.
I shudder to think about, what will be the cost if we get them later.
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Man that's sad! I wonder if you could import one. Used electric motorcycles from the US are cheap now.
@@NewZeroland At my age (67) I wouldn't bother. Sold a BMW RT, and a Honda last year and bought a Yamaha FZ25 (Indian market 250) Cost me equivalent US$4,400.
That's all I need now.
Regards.
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Another great video! Thanks for your honest review. I rented an SR/F for 2 days (it was a blast!) and am hoping to ride an Ego before making the choice on my next bike (although I know the weight of the Ego will bum me out). But I really like the fact that Energica is so much better at customer support - so that's something to consider too. Looking forward to more updates. (p.s. Anamorphic on the B-roll - nice touch!)
Thanks! Glad ya liked it. Definitely ride the Eva Ribelle if you get a change. Those things are amazing 😁
I was thinking about doing a 1 year review with my bike, but I don't think I can beat this lol.
Haha thanks bro, but do it! The more electric motorcycle videos, the better 😁
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Great review! Very helpful information for someone like me who’s new to electric bikes and wants real world experiences. Maybe I will go with the Energica Ego after all. 👌🏻
Thanks! Glad you liked it. The new bikes are a million times better. Definitely take one for a test ride if you can!
@@NewZeroland I will! But there’s another bike drawing my attention: the Damon Hypersport - which will arrive sometime this year. My only fear is that it’ll be a bike with growing pains since they don’t have the experience Energica does. But it sure as hell is one angry beast!
@@christianneitzel I feel like Damon will be a let down, if they even build them. So far there's been no evidence that the bikes can do anything they claim, and they even used a Ducati in their promo video.. so I'm skeptical 😂 But let's wait and see what happens.
Liked as soon as I opened the video ;)
Thanks Energica bro!
Do you know if there are conversion kits available from chaindrive to beltdrive for that motorcycle? cool video btw!
Thanks! Nope, no belt kits. If you want to convert it for the sound, that noise actually comes from the reduction gear under the motor.
@@NewZeroland No, I would do it because of the chain greasing and leghth adjusting. But its ok. Good to know.
:)
@@1ytcommenter oh yeah, cleaning chains is messy! Depending on the belt system, you might still have to adjust it. Livewires have tensioners, but Zeros don't.
@@NewZeroland Yes. Thats true. Is that batterypack on the Energica upgradable? Can you swap the 14kwh for the 21kwh?
@@1ytcommenter it is, but it would be easier to just buy a 21.5kWh model.
Cheers for the continued cool content.
Thanks for watchin!
Congratulations on the video friend. I hope to have mine someday.
Thanks Romanski! Everybody needs to try these bikes.
I'm sold. I even think you should change the channel name already :D
HAHA nahhh, if I sold my Zero the channel would be called No Zero Land.
286kgis very heavy for a sport bike, even for z1000 is still less than 250kg of wet weight. But, thre's still room for improvement for energyca and this e-sport bike ie still a good invention forbetter future. Thanks for the info man.
Cheers! Yeah the new bikes are a million times better than my old one. I just rode an Ego+RS and it blew my mind 😂
Usually I find something to whinge about.......but you did good. The repair part is so important, I wonder if they have an OBD2 port or similar AND let you use it (unlike Tesla for example). And yes, going electric is a new, nice lifestyle. Amazing !!!
Thanks man! Oh I've done a lot of whinging this past year, but way more uncontrollable giggling 😁
Newzeroland: 660 feels heavy
Me: Laughing in 2 up 2003 Honda Goldwing.....
I really feel that's the market that would really benefit from electric. I'm confused why Zero would build the SR/F and SR/S that compete directly with their SR and S models, while bringing nothing that couldn't be (and bloody should be) put straight onto the S (like traction control and charger above the batteries). The Zeros are too big to be great commuters, too small to be great tourers.
A triple monolith bike with 348V DC charging or a quad longbrick with 464V DC charging would be awesome. That market doesn't mind slippery fairings, high prices and lots of weight, but values smoothness and quiet ride.
HAHA 😂 Install clip-ons and then we'll both laugh and cry and rebuild together.
Great video :) Looks like a fun bike
Thanks! It's amazing.
DANG!! I’ve told you in other videos you had a huge influence in me buying my first electric. I got the 2015 zero sr used but it works great. I feel the costumer service part and the ability to work on it myself. I don’t have that with zero and I bought this bike to find out what it’s all about. Now I’m gonna look at these bikes!!
That's right! That means so much :D I still love my Zero SR but it's having problems at the moment and I'm having a hard time telling people to buy one now. As long as you're close to a dealer or a shop that can service it, there's nothing to worry about. Energica though.. there's just no beating them haha. Thanks again for sharing your story!
@@NewZeroland ah man no THANK YOU! for being a beacon for us electric enthusiast in the world. I know you are known very well through the electric community even here in San Diego CA!! Unfortunately my closes Energica dealership is in LA. Which is two hours away and with traffic make that 4 lol. So I’m gonna have to stick with zero. Knock on wood everything lasts me a while.
@@MrSokkermasta hey awesome! I love San Diego. I really hope things go back to normal and I can go back to visit California again next year. Keep up the awesome electric life over there!
Sick vid
Thanks brooo!
Excellent video. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos, and I’m sold on getting an Energica as my next bike. The range is acceptable with the newer higher capacity battery pack. I think I could make the 430 miles back home to Scotland in a day - the longest haul I ever do in a day. My only concern (as an old geezer) is the weight, and reversing it out onto the road from my back yard. I’ll have to try one and see how the weight feels next to my Tiger 800.
Thanks! I still feel like Energicas have no competition right now. 430 miles should be a breeze. The weight is a lot better on the new bikes, but having a reverse mode helps a lot. Definitely take one for a test ride if you can.
I also have seen Damon Hypersport HS and it goes supposedly double the range of the Energica but not sure about it Energica looks so stylish too
Yeah Damon can claim whatever they want but they haven't proven anything yet. Let's see if they build a bike with all those specs. I hope they do, but it sounds like a scam.
6:59 This is what I'm looking forward to. Hi buddy, I purchase an EV bike indigenously made here in India called the Ultraviolette F77. Its comparable to a 300cc bike. It doesn't support CCS but IEC62196-6 standard which there are not many charging points in India. So I'm unable to take it for long rides.
Aw maaaan.. I really hoped they sold the bike with CCS. That's so sad. How do you like riding it? It looks like a fun bike 😁
@@NewZeroland Thanks. It is my first EV experience and like you said, the quick mode and lack of gears is insane. For now I have the standard charger at home which I use to charge overnight. Company says they're setting up charging stations. Hopefully it will be fast as the standard is followed by few of the popular EV scooter models as well (Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X & Simple One.. if you wanna google).
Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttt? This is sad but excellent because now, new bikes, new stories and someone else on the road with an Energica! No downside. Stuff the haters Sam, Im sticking with you. (ps - i have a Livewire in my shed!!!!!)
Hahaha thanks bro! It was time. Now I need to ride a Livewire too! Gah! So many cool electric bikes these days.
Very nice review guy, thanks
Cheers man!
Ohariu Valley to Karori and around the bays is my every weekend ride 🏍🏍🏍👌👌👌
Nice!! I love it out there. 😁
Thats a good looking bike❤
Hi bro I am from India
Your video is good 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks man!
🙂🙂🙂🙂
great video., i owned it and it felt too heavy on the front. i didnt get used to it, so i bought the zeor srf and a yaer later the srs. still happy with it but miss the fast charging. the noise on the energica suxs
I agree, the weight is still an issue on the older bikes. Hopefully Zero can sort out DC charging soon!
@@NewZeroland would be great
I will check 21 Esse esse this month
Maybe I’ll switch
Cheers from Germany
Day will come I visit you
Man! Id buy one in a second if they weren’t so pricey
Super Great Video
Thank you!
I caught that "blood sacrifice" so fast lmao.
Have you head of Damon Motorcycles btw? They are new to the scene and I'm debating whether or not I should reserve one of their bikes when it releases, or one of these.
Haha man I really hope Damon can build something that meets their impossible claims, because if they don't, it'll hurt the image of all electric motorcycles. At the moment, and for a long time, I believe Energica will be on top. Nobody else can match their performance, range, or charging speed 😁 Thanks for watching!
Alas, Zero is also stuck in the American system of dealers which will attack them for going direct. I don't know how to change it, currently.
At least there's Hollywood Electrics and AF1 Racing coming to our rescue! Now I need to shoot a 5 year review of my Zero SR haha. Still one of the best bikes ever.
So sweet. I don't even have a motor cycle 😂
Go try one!!
God damnit NergZeroland, I think you just sold me an enérgica. 😂
HAHA yessss! Join me :D
